I can see some limited benefit in these in the case people are trapped in a room without any way or time to evacuate. It could serve to shield anyone holding the door close, and prevent anyone from shooting through the window on a door.Otherwise, it is pretty silly.

aside from teachers the only other demographic would be nerds, but let's face it if a nerd war ramps up you can forget it, by assault v2.5 they've already moved on to somthing that would vaporize a bullet proof white board.

Besides, after I spend an hour or two working out a problem I would be throwing myself between the shooter and the white board.

vpb:What's asinine? If we aren't going to do anything to prevent shootings, then teachers might as well try to survive them as best they can.

We are doing something. We are petitioning for teacher concealed carry. Just because it's not your solution doesn't mean it isn't one.

These can be in the classroom as well. Perhaps it can be a students desktop that detaches as a shield. However, without an armed teacher, this is merely a delaying tactic, and not a very good one at that. Maybe she can hold off the shooter till the janitor arrives.

"In the event a deranged maniac is hellbent on shooting every last one of you in this classroom, your desktop can be used as a shield. Simply unclip the four quick release hinges, pull up firmly, and assume the defensive position we all taught you at last week's assembly."

Glad I'm out of school. This shiat would suck for everyone, students and teachers.

For the last decade, if not longer, I've heard the Right argue about how teachers are overpaid, how they get three months off so fark them, how they could give a damn less about funding education, and how they could give a damn less about teacher's unions.

Now, all of a sudden, we're supposed to have the money to buy "bullet proof" whiteboards. We can suddenly afford trained security guards for each an every school. Now, the most important characteristic of a teacher is apparently their skill with a firearm and their skill in using it in combat situations.

farking idiots. I'm done trying to reason with any of them.

Keep in mind how many armed security guards are minimum wage drones, though. It really fits right in

/Henceforth teachers will be expected to spend their Summers acting as armed security guards at birthday parties, and bar and bat mitzvahs.

Are you kidding? I can't see a single day going by without at least one boy aged 10-16 in every school starting a removable desktop fight and/or frisbee contest. It's the 2010's Red Scare and nuke drills.
